If you go to KDE.org, you can download the SRC files and compile it yourself... I just got done installing it on Red Hat 8, looks awesome. Good Luck.

The instructions below come directly off of the KDE website, and they are what I used to get it set up. Just follow those exactly how they say and you'll have it set up with in an hour.
Good Luck...If you run into any problems, just post it on here and I'll try to help you out.
"Download
In order to run KDE applications, you need the Qt, arts, and kdelibs packages. For a simple desktop (with a window manager, panel, etc), you will also need kdebase. The other packages contain many other applications by topic: networking, graphics, multimedia, games, utilities, toys, software development, etc.
You can find the Qt library (version 3.1.x) at ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qt/source/
KDE 3.1.x is available from ftp://download.kde.org/stable/
Installation
Unlike most compiled software, Qt is compiled in the place where it will stay instead of using a 'make install'. Please read the INSTALL instructions in the Qt package. You need to set the QTDIR and KDEDIR to the locations where Qt and KDE will be installed, respectively. Also, append $QTDIR/bin and $KDEDIR/bin to your $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. Alternatively, instead of using $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, you may add your Qt and KDE library paths to /etc/ld.so.conf, but don't forget to run ldconfig as root after installing Qt and kdelibs, otherwise configure scripts will fail to find the newly installed libraries!
bunzip2 qt-x11-3.1.1.tar.bz2
tar xvf qt-x11-3.1.1.tar
cd qt-x11-3.1.1
less INSTALL
(Set up QTDIR, KDEDIR, PATH, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH)
cd $QTDIR
./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng \
-system-libjpeg -plugin-imgfmt-mng -thread -no-stl \
-no-xinerama -no-g++-exceptions
make
Note that -thread is required (KDE will not run or even compile if you omit it), that -no-xinerama is only if you're not using xinerama, and -no-g++-exceptions is strongly recommended if you're using gcc.
Make sure to compile and install first arts, and afterwards kdelibs before any other packages. Also, if you want to use kdeaddons, it should be compiled last as it requires kdebase, kdemultimedia, etc.
For each KDE package:
bunzip2 <package>.tar.bz2
tar xvf <package>.tar
cd <package>
./configure
make
make install
Note:
If compiling on a system where GNU make is not the default make (that is, most systems other than Linux), please run 'gmake && gmake install' instead of 'make && make install'.
All packages mentioned here have to be compiled with the same compiler! " www.kde.org

then just download all of those files and follow the directions I posted earlier.... If have anymore problems, let me know.

Another easy way is if you go to the info page on the website you will see a list of the packages and then they talk about a package called konstruct. Download that, type bunzip2 konstruct*.bz2 , then tar xvf konstruct.tar, then cd konstruct
look at the readme there but your next command will be cd /meta/kde;make install This will take a loooong time, but itwill do everything but the post install for you. Remember that README well go to it and look at it again for the post install stuff. Also, the only way I have gotten kde3.1 to run was to have the last line of my /etc/inittab state to look at the kdm file that konstruct has created. If you have any questions let me know.

There are a ton of downloads in the Qt src which one do I need ? Kde says to get Qt library (version 3.1.x) . Why Can't you go in and just download Qt 3.1 or what ever. Why all of these src codes , I guess I need some wine with my crackers lololol....
Please help me understand what to down load..

Ok this is what I have done:
1. downloaded konstruct.tar.bz2
2. tar jxvf konstruct.tar.bz2
3. cd konstruct
4. ./configure (this will not run it says .\configure not found ) what Do I do?

Ok, you need to the konstruct dir then
type cd /meta/kde;make install
now here is the trick...it's going to look for the files in some location (I forget where exactly) but it will tell where it is trying to find it before it starts going the download on it's own route, so here is the plan, just hit Ctrl+c to stop the make, put the files in the location it looks for them at, and run the above file again and it should do the rest for ya :D
I hope I am helpin' ya,
type cd /meta/kde;make install
